Baby Bjorn DoonaAt first glance, this changing mat seems like an unnecessary luxury. However, on closer inspection, you'll find that it actually alleviates some of the anxiety that comes with being a new parent. The Hatch Baby Grow Changing Pad is indeed a soft, waterproof place to clean your baby, but it's so much more. The main feature of the Hatch Baby Grow is that it connects to the internet. This way it can wirelessly communicate valuable information to you and your baby's doctor via the Hatch mobile app.
Luckily, the Baby Shusher Sleep Miracle is an affordable gadget that helps you do just that. The Baby Shusher literally looks like someone shutting up, which sounds a bit silly until you look at the science behind it. The Baby Shusher mimics the heartbeat and white noise that babies heard during their development in the womb. As a result, the sound is familiar and soothing, ultimately helping your baby relax.
In addition to mimicking the sounds your baby felt in utero, you can also recreate the movement your baby felt. Think about it – for nine months your little one was a passenger, blindly accompanying the ride. As you can imagine, this ride was not without bumps, sways and other forms of movement. As we mentioned above, being born is a traumatic experience. When your baby is born, he has only one point of reference:the uterus. And in the womb, your baby moved.
Fortunately, the Munchkin Lulla-Vibe is a vibrating mattress topper that, you guessed it, mimics the movement your baby felt in the womb. Simply put your little one on the pad and turn it on. The Munchkin Lulla-Vibe provides the soothing vibrations your baby is used to. Best of all, the Lulla-Vibe is super affordable.
Babies are notoriously picky. If things aren't going well, then you're just asking for a collapse of epic proportions. Babies require parents to remember feeding times, sleep schedules and more. One thing parents can easily overlook is a comfortable room temperature. Luckily, there's an affordable gadget that can keep your baby's room looking its best.
The Gro-Oeuf is an egg-shaped thermostat that doubles as a nightlight. However, the real appeal of the Gro-egg is that the color of the egg changes if the room is too cold or too hot. This means that checking the temperature of a room can be done with just a glance.
Car seats and strollers are must-have items for any family. Unfortunately, quality car seats and strollers can cost a fortune. Luckily, you can kill two birds with one stone with Baby Bjorn Doona. Think of it as a baby-centered transformer. With a few deft moves, the Baby Bjorn Doona goes from stroller to car seat in the blink of an eye. Although the Baby Bjorn Doona seems expensive, remember that you are getting a two-in-one baby carrier solution.
Besides saving you money, the Baby Bjorn Doona also ensures that your baby is super safe. Unfortunately, studies have shown that many parents unknowingly strap their car seat into their vehicle the wrong way around. This is due to the way car seats are designed in an overly complicated way. The Baby Bjorn Doona changes that by making it easier to get from the curb to the car.
